No clear cut instructions available for adding remote host.

Hello All,

Specifically Nagios Core Product Owners,

There are no clear cut instructions available to add CentOS 7/6 as remote host to Nagios Core Server.

Everyone seems to have different flavour of compilation, It is quiet frustrating for newbies.
1.
https://www.digitalocean.com/community/ ... n-centos-7
./configure --with-nagios-user=nagios --with-nagios-group=nagios --with-openssl
2.https://gist.github.com/lokesh-webonise/5848201
./configure --with-ssl=/usr/bin/openssl --with-ssl-lib=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
3. http://www.tecmint.com/how-to-add-linux ... ng-server/
./configure

Just to compile the application 3 different instructions on 3 different site.

Moreover I do not have /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu

Code: Select all

[root@agent1 nagios-plugins-2.1.1]# ls /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
ls: cannot access /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu: No such file or directory

So I did google and they say install openssl-devel

Code: Select all

[root@agent1 /]# find / -xdev -type d -iname "linux"

[root@agent1 /]# 

Code: Select all

[root@agent1 nagios-plugins-2.1.1]# yum -y install openssl-devel 

WOuld appreciate if someone can throw light on what is correct and precise way.

I want two remote host having nagios plugins + NRPE Install. Once with CentOS 6 and other with 7

The steps in this guide do all of the NPRE + Plugin steps for you (even though it's titled XI, it also works for Core).

https://support.nagios.com/kb/article.php?id=218

Then you just need to create the host and service objects in core in the text config files.

There is a new release of NRPE v3 soon, along with that is a guide for installing NRPE on all different versions of Linux.
